Book Storage

Books have taken over my house. Especially books for my two littlest girls. This is such a cool idea. Just saving it here for future reference. I see several of these in my future.

Lazy Weekend

It was a lazy weekend around here.

I did some sewing on Saturday as it was too hot to go outside. I finished my tote bag and got a good start on the charm quilt. It is going together really quickly, so I will hopefully get it finished before the long weekend. It was so hot outside that I had to keep Mr. Oswald and Miss Pretty inside all day and they were not impressed. There was a lot of whining and fighting. After nap all was well, as Grandma (my MIL) brought dinner and came to play! What a relief! No cooking and another adult to distract them.

Sunday was great! It was so nice, 85-ish with a breeze. We played outside all day. We played on the new swingset, or "investment" as the salesman called it. (Insert eye-roll here.) Then we played in the sprinkler. After nap, we played some more and ate dinner outside. It was a perfect summer day.

WIP (Work In Process)

I currently have three major sewing projects going on:

-Sarah's quilt (in background) needs quilted. I think I am going to do a simple cross hatch design.

-My Park Slope tote bag just needs to be top stitched and it is finished. I love it! I added some pockets to the inside for my cellphone, iPod, and current book.

-My Park Slope charm quilt is all cut out and ready to assemble.

I would like to get my bag finished and the charm quilt assembled before the weekend, so I can baste and quilt both big quilts over the weekend. It is going to be too hot to go outside, so I might as well sew.
